Abstract In this work, (Nb 0.25 Ta 0.25 Ti 0.25 Hf 0.25 )Si 2 high-entropy disilicide nanopowders were successfully fabricated via molten salt-assisted magnesium thermal reduction for the first time. The results showed that the as-obtained nanopowders possessed a single hexagonal structure (TaSi 2 -type) and consisted of numerous nanopowders with an average particle size of 55 nm . These nanopowders exhibited highly compositional uniformity at microscale , but shown the aggregation of Ti element at nanoscale. In addition, a typical template formation mechanism was proposed and analyzed in detailed. This work would provide a new way to synthesis of high-entropy disilicise powders for potential high-temperature harsh environment applications.

The purity of rare earth metals is one of the most important factors to research and develop high technique materials. However, high purity rare earth metals are not easily achieved. This review summarizes the preparation and purification methods of rare earth metals. First, the preparation principle and process of molten salt electrolysis and metal thermal reduction are introduced. The main sources of metallic impurities and interstitial impurities in rare earth metals as well as the action mechanism of reducing the concentration of different impurities are analyzed and summarized. Then, the purification principle and process of vacuum distillation, arc melting, zone melting, and solid state electromigration are also discussed. Furthermore, the removal effect and function rule of metallic impurities and interstitial impurities in rare earth metals are outlined. Finally, the crucial issues in the development of high purity rare earth metals are put forward, and the development direction of high purity rare earth metals in future are pointed out on this basis.

Submicron-sized (~200 nm) aluminium boron carbide (Al8B4C7) particles were synthesised from Al, B4C and carbon black raw materials in a molten NaCl-based salt at a relatively low temperature. The effects of the salt type/assembly and the firing temperature on the synthesis process were examined, and the relevant reaction mechanisms discussed. The molten salt played an important role in the Al8B4C7 formation process. By using a combined salt of 95%NaCl + 5%NaF, an effective liquid reaction medium was formed, greatly facilitating the Al8B4C7 formation. As a result, essentially phase-pure Al8B4C7 was obtained after 6 h of firing at 1250 °C. This temperature was 350–550 °C lower than that required by the conventional direct reaction and thermal reduction methods.
